NOBLE:Nonplanar beam-slab to wall connections: seismic design and nonlinear modelling

NOBLE

RC STRUCTURES

Dataset Description

The datest provided comprises the results of ERIES-NOBLE project focusing on experimentally studying the performance of beam-wall-slab connections subjected to cyclic loading. The NOBLE testing campaign comprised three full-scale, wall-beam-slab sub-assemblies subjected to the same pattern of cyclic displacements applied at the top of each specimen. Data regarding every aspect of each test (drawings, material test results, acquisition of a network sensors, photo and close-up video documentation before/during/after testing) are provided open access.

1. SP1

A predefined, sequence of cyclic lateral displacements was applied to the specimen until failure was attained. Due to technical issues, measurements from some of the sensors were not recorded - see file "SP1_Data_NOTES.pdf" for information.

Instrumentation

Local measurements were obtained from 62 displacement transducers/potentiometers, 39 strain gages and two load cells on the beam end steel supports. Drawings on instrumentation are provided for this dataset, reporting sensor position, type, and denomination both for the displacement transducers and the strain gages.

2. SP2

1

The same geometry as per SP1 was employed. Specimen SP2 was designed to have stronger beams and weaker wall compared to SP1. The reinforcement of the boundary elements was reduced to 6Φ14 (instead of 6Φ18); the reinforcement of the web was reduced to Φ8/150 (instead of Φ10/150). The beams were reinforced with top reinforcement of 4Φ14 and bottom reinforcement of 3Φ14 at the support region (instead of 3Φ14 and 2Φ14 respectively in SP1).

3D drawings documenting sensor position, type and denomination both for the displacement transducers and the strain gages, are provided.

3. SP3

1

Specimen SP3 was designed for a reduced bar slippage (due to the smaller bar diameter at the beam); it was also designed for an increased punching shear resistance of the wall web, with the S-links expected to act as a punching reinforcement. Beam reinforcement at the support region of specimen SP3 is 4Φ12 on top and 3Φ12 at the bottom, with yield moments similar to SP1 both for tension in the upper and lower flanges. The wall of SP3 was reinforced so that it does not yield in bending, with 6Φ18 vertical bars in the boundary elements (same as in SP1) and Φ8/150 web reinforcement (as in SP2).

The SP3 specimen has a significant densification of S-links in and around the joint area, with a Φ8 S-link placed at 150mm horizontal and vertical spacing (following the reinforcement grid of the web).
